HC Deb 17 December 1969 vol 793 cc339-40W
Mr. Judd

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT details of average weekly earnings and average weekly take-home pay for skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled workers in Portsmouth Dockyard in the months of October and November, 1969, and for the same two months in 1968; and whether he will similarly publish details of the highest and lowest earnings in these three categories during the same months.

Dr. David Owen

Retrospective data in this form is not available from the computer and the effort in extracting it manually could not be justified. I would, however, willingly authorise the dockyard authorities to discuss with the hon. Member the form in which meaningful information could be provided for comparison with the data which is supplied to him periodically.
